Inari Okami, the Shinto deity of rice, fertility, and prosperity, is enshrined at Ise Grand Shrine in Mie Prefecture, not 稲荷大明神 (as it seems to be a misnomer). However, a smaller shrine dedicated to Inari Okami exists in Kanagawa. The shrine, located in Hiratsuka City, is known for its large torii gate and beautiful gardens. It is a popular destination for visitors seeking blessings for good fortune, fertility, and success in business.
